词义辨析

n. (名词)

series, sequence, succession

• 这组词都有“持续”“连续”“一系列”的意思。
• 1.sequence多指时间上、空间上的相继发生; succession强调事物或事件一个接一个发生,没有间断; series指将某种性质相同或关系相同的事物排列在一起。
• 2.sequence含有事物按照某种逻辑集合而成的意思; succession所暗示的事物不一定按逻辑顺序,含有相连的事物既互相关联又彼此独立的意思。

a series of, a chain of

• 这二者都有“一连串”的意思,但意义有所不同。a series of只表示数量,而a chain of含“前因后果”的意味。例如:
• It awakens a series of associations of ideas.
• 它唤起一系列的联想。
• Their acts set off a chain of revolts through- out the country.
• 他们的行为在全国引发了一系列叛乱。

sequence，progression，series，succession

• 这些名词均含“连续，顺序”之意。
• sequence多指时间、空间或事件等有规律、合乎逻辑的连续。
• progression指向前推进的行为过程或状态的连续。
• series指按照性质类似或基本相同的关系而安排的一系列事物，比如哈里波特系列电影，阿加莎小说系列。
• succession侧重一些类似的东西或事件一个接一个连续不断。
